A
preposition
+
whom
/
which
You can use a
preposition
+
whom
(for people) and
which
(for things).
So you can say:
to whom with whom
about whom
etc
.
of which
without which
from which
etc
.
Mr Lee,
to whom I spoke
at the meeting, is interested in our proposal.
Fortunately we had a good map,
without which
we would have got lost.
In spoken English we often keep the preposition after the verb in the relative clause:
Katherine told me she works for a company called ‘Latoma’,
which
I’d never
heard of
before.
We do not use
whom
when the preposition is in this position:
Mr Lee,
who
I
spoke to
at the meeting, is interested in our proposal.
(
not
Mr Lee, whom I spoke to …)
For prepositions in relative clauses, see also Unit 93C.

all of whom
are married.
They asked me a lot of questions,
most of which
I couldn’t answer.
In the same way you can say:
